One of my goals this year is to write a poem about each book that I read. Earlier this month, I read Red Horizons, a book about the dictatorship/foreign policy of Romania’s Nicolae Ceausescu. A character that captured my imagination in the book was the villainous portrayal of Nicolae’s son, Nicu. His story raises questions about justice, especially in light of all of the sexual harassment and assault that has garnered media attention this year. What is justice? How do we make the horrors of history right?

Nicu Ceaucescu

Nicu crashed the car he was given for raping a 15 year old.

He pissed on the only oysters in the country, when the people ate nettles and scraps.
